Questions to Ask When Choosing Your Storage Unit

How often do you plan to visit your rental? Frequent visits point to drive-up storage, as long as you don’t need to store sensitive items.

What items are you storing, and can heat, cold, or dampness harm them? If the answer is yes, step up to temperature control. If you would like more environment management than drive-up storage but do not feel you need the premium temperature control, a standard indoor unit is a solid middle choice.

How long will you keep your items in storage? You can rent your storage unit month to month, so leases are always flexible. But if you know you will be storing for a long time, especially without visiting your unit, it can benefit you and your peace of mind to rely on a temperature-controlled storage rental to maintain excellent condition long-term.

Put shelving along the walls. Make sure it is sturdy enough for heavy boxes.

Leave a center lane wide enough for a hand truck or cart. You want to factor in enough space to be able to moving items around and access different corners of your unit.

Number the shelves, and keep a simple inventory list on a clipboard or shared sheet. When someone takes an item out, they update the list. Keep a printed pull list for seasonal swaps.
